Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

No ruling on Copycat? (UPDATE: talk of translation error in Rowan)

If I use Illumise's Light Conduct power (Once during your turn (before your attack), if you have Illumise in play, you may search your discard pile for a Supporter card, show it to your opponent, and put it on top of your deck. This power can't be used if Volbeat is affected by a Special Condition.) right before Copycat'ing when I hold only a Copycat, not shuffling would give you a bit of an advantage.

(So that's a situation that will probably come up a lot considering how widely Illumise is played. AND how ofter you have only a 1 card hand - and that 1 card is Copycat! But I'm just saying that the condition exists...)
 
Here's what I want to know:
There is no errata on Professor Rowan. Professor Rowan, right now, says to shuffle "cards" into the deck.
So, if there is no errata on the card, why is it being treated as though there is an errata?

That just seems like it would confuse players (why would every other card that says to shuffle "cards" into the deck work one way, but this card works a different way?)

Wouldn't it make more sense to give out an errata first and then tell everybody, "Here's how Professor Rowan really works..."

IMO that's a considerable advantage! Controlling what is not in your new hand is a small advantage, but actually getting something you chose that shouldn't be definetly there is a big issue. With mechanics like Claydol/Togekiss particularly as the deck thins, there are situations where missing a shuffle is literally game changing.
 
Could someone answer the question in post 22? There are five TC member; one of them is bound to see this (and I would hope that they know the answer).

And here's another question: If TC knows that there's a translation error, why hasn't an errata been given out yet?

It seems you are fighting with the wrong people. Send a message to POP with your complaint. TC is designed to find rulings situations that need corrected/clarified and to find the best possible answer. TC found out what the Japanese ruling was on the card and gave it to us.

It is POP that issues or doesn't issue errata. If I had to guess, I'd guess it would be because of the massive amounts of errata that have already been given out.

So, TC did their job. You should e-mail POP if you are still upset.

Not wanting to pick a fight. Just curious.

The translation error has already been pointed out. How long does it take to issue an errata? What's in their way? What is stopping PUI from contacting PCL, asking if it's okay to issue an errata (then get a "yes" or "no"), and posting the revised text of Professor Rowan as a news item on go-pokemon.com? Really, how long does it take?

I'd guess it would be because of the massive amounts of errata that have already been given out.

Are you saying that PUI prefers to issue errata in large quantites? That is, they like to "do it all at once" as opposed to issuing an errata for one card at a time, when an error is discovered? Is that the case?
 
No, it's probably more that people will start complaining that POP is issuing too many erratas.

But like I said, making these posts here won't help out a whole lot. If you want results, you need to contact POP. You've gotten all of the answers from TC that they are allowed to give you.
